Fleet Plan Insurance

As dedicated fleet specialists, FleetPLAN can assist with your Fleet Risk Management.

Although it is never possible to completely eliminate the risks associated with vehicle use, they can be substantially reduced through effective risk management.

Effective Fleet Risk Management is not simply the implementation of individual policies, it must be embedded within the culture of your organisation.

As part of your fleet insurance we can assist with your reviews of:

Vehicle Specification

As tools of the trade vehicles are typically purchased after considering price, running costs, payload etc. However, consideration of additional criteria such as vehicle performance and safety features can dramatically reduce the total cost of operating your fleet.

Vehicle Maintenance

A formal vehicle maintenance policy should encompass more than just scheduled maintenance. Drivers should be encouraged to make regular inspections of their own vehicles.

Effective reporting, recording and rectification of vehicle defects should be established across your fleet.

Vehicle Security

Regular reviews of vehicle security devices, vehicle security procedures and vehicle parking are essential elements of Fleet Risk Management.

Driver Selection

Recruitment of suitable drivers is essential if you wish to control your exposure to risk.

The recruitment process should include:

	An interview with an appropriately trained individual
	Driving licence inspection
	On-road driving assessment
	A written examination
	An eyesight test
	Taking references

Driver Induction

Driver induction should introduce all relevant systems, procedures and the company focus on safety.

The process should include:

	The introduction of a Driver Handbook
	Driver-vehicle introduction
	Internal procedure explanation
	Collision details cards/cameras

Driver Monitoring

Driver monitoring should encompass a review of both driver performance and a continuing ability to safely operate their vehicle.

Driver Training

Accurately targeted, well-structured and effectively delivered driver training can improve both the profile of driver safety within the organisation and driving standards.

Post-Incident Procedures

Formal post-incident procedures can reduce the likelihood of repetition by holding the drivers involved accountable for their actions.
